Cost to use your dog in a background = $15.00

The price includes fixing and refining the photos as needed to present
a totally professional look.  Sometimes eyes need to be fixed, most
times the hair needs more detail.  I'll let you know what I think it needs.
 

Background examples to choose from:

* Ornaments -  dogs in famous art         Xmas dog ornaments by Jean

Please include your pet's approximate weight and name.

Permission to use your dog is legally required since the designs
will be available to the general public.

G U I D E L I N E S

1)  Straight on angle - not shot from above but with the camera pointed straight
     at the neck/chest area.  For small dogs, sitting them on a table works well. 
     If they are on the floor you would probably have to be on your stomach.
   
2)  Shows the whole dog (or cat) - no paws sunk in grass or pillows and
     and  preferably not on a couch.  (Sorry, I don't recreate  paws due
     to the time it takes.)

3)  Good lighting and focus-which hopefully shows the eyes
     except with  certain long haired dog breeds.  No harsh shadows
     or light.  If you can see the dogs shadow, that means you don't
     have balanced lighting. 

4)  The dog should be at least 3 inches high in your photo
      (because  for t-shirts or prints, it will need to be  enlarged. 
      If you can send  it so the dog is 6 or 7 inches high (sharp  focus),
      that works great for preserving detail.

You are also welcome to submit just head and shoulder shots.
